Albion youngsters enjoy successful Canary Cup
More than 100 young footballers travelled to Norwich to take part in the Canary Cup tournament last week.
Players from our boys, girls, and disability talent pathway squads made the trip to Norfolk for the three-day football festival hosted by Norwich City.
Representative teams from Premier League and Football League clubs across the country took part in the tournament, with 11 different Albion in the Community teams joining in with the fun.
Two of those sides – our under-12s girls and under-14s boys teams – managed to win their tournaments and brought Canary Cup trophies back to Sussex.
Over 100 kids from our Pathway Centre travelled to the tournament to represent Albion in the Community.
Mark Pedrick, Football Pathway Manager at AITC, said the event was a great experience for all the young players involved.
“Our players have had an amazing time this weekend. It’s been a really important experience for them to play against other teams from all over the country and everyone’s had a great time.
“We had 11 teams from different age groups travel up with us, and we’re really pleased two of them won their tournaments.”
